At G. Samaras, corporate responsibility is more than a principle—it is a continuous act of giving back to the communities that surround and support us. While our core focus remains the development of reliable and innovative medical gas infrastructure, our impact extends beyond the healthcare sector. Through a wide range of donations over the past years, our company has actively supported public health, education, and academic research.
This is a core part of our identity: to contribute not only through technology, but also through meaningful, practical support where it matters most.
Supporting Healthcare Institutions Nationwide
As a company operating at the heart of medical infrastructure, we understand the vital role that hospitals and emergency services play in saving lives. That is why we have consistently provided targeted donations to public hospitals and healthcare institutions across Greece. These include:
A Mercedes Sprinter ambulance and a VITER ventilator donated to the General Hospital of Thessaloniki “G. Papanikolaou” (December 2024, value: €100,000).
Telecommunications equipment to the University General Hospital “Attikon” in Athens (October 2023).
Patient bedhead units, a pressure-reducing station with integrated alarm panel and a nurse call system for the Hematology Department of the same hospital (July 2023).
An emergency equipment case to the EKAV emergency medical services (February 2022).
A set of laryngoscopes to the General Hospital “Papageorgiou” (January 2022).
Double and triple patient headwall units, a pressure-reducing substation, and visual signaling equipment for the Cardiology Department of the General Hospital “G. Papanikolaou”, including full installation of medical gas infrastructure (March 2021).
A VITAE 40 emergency ventilator to the General Hospital “Papageorgiou” for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic (November 2020).
Equipment for the Intensive Care Unit of the General Hospital “G. Papanikolaou” (November 2020).
Each of these contributions has been formally accepted by the respective institutions and publicly acknowledged through official letters and board decisions.
Strengthening Education and Academic Research
Our contribution to society also extends to the field of education, where we believe that access to resources and state-of-the-art equipment is essential to empowering students and faculty.
Over the past years, we have supported several initiatives, including:
The donation of a CNC Router machine to the Laboratory of Physical Metallurgy of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (November 2022). The equipment was used by the Aristotle Racing Team (ART), the student research team of the department.
The donation of laboratory equipment and lighting components to the International Hellenic University (November 2022 & May 2023), supporting the technical needs of academic labs.
Equipment provided to Primary and Secondary Education Departments of Central Macedonia (2022), enhancing learning conditions in public schools.
These donations reflect our strong belief that fostering technical knowledge and scientific curiosity is an investment in Greece’s future. By empowering institutions to train the next generation of professionals, we contribute to long-term societal resilience.
Giving with Purpose
In addition to healthcare and education, we have also extended support to social welfare organizations, such as our donation of health and technical materials to The Smile of the Child (March 2022). This action helped infrastructure’s improvement in child protection facilities and ensured a safer environment for children in need.
All our donations are carried out with transparency, in full compliance with institutional procedures, and always based on actual needs communicated to us directly by the recipient organizations.
A Legacy of Social Responsibility
Our goal has never been only to build systems—it has always been to support the systems that sustain society.
Through each donation, whether it's medical technology, student equipment, or emergency response tools, G. Samaras reinforces its commitment to social responsibility and long-term contribution. We are proud to work alongside hospitals, universities, and educational institutions, not only as suppliers, but as trusted partners who care about people.
And as we continue to grow, we remain firmly committed to giving back—systematically, responsibly, and with purpose.
